Thoughts on self-care as a business owner
This is my third year as a business owner.
It's hard to take in. 2020 disappeared in covid fog and don't even get me started on 2021. That year felt like a month.
Today I had to update my CV, and it gave me some time to reflect on what I've actually done.
It's also having me think of the hard parts of managing a business.
Especially in the early days, when everything is fun and it's hard to say no.
Some thoughts today:
- Be very clear regarding boundaries. Define them, set them, respect them.
- Set a good enough. It's a great feeling to be fully responsible for my own life. It's also stressful to always be able to do more. Set a good enough and let the rest be a bonus.
- Take off-days. Full, long days without work.
